Casey Elisha Casey Elisha is a self-published London-based children’s author. A Mass Communications graduate, Casey has always had an interest in writing and released her first title, “Love Thy Fro”, in December 2015.
Since then, Casey has developed a drive to work towards increasing diversity within children’s books after recognising a lack of diverse representation. This led Casey to create the Children’s Empowerment and Literary Festival. Debuted in 2016, CELF consisted of workshops and stalls that celebrated diverse literature and encouraged empowerment within children. All of Casey's work is illustrated by Aliecee Cummings.
